Happy (relieved actually) to see this work, which began 9 years ago in my postdoc with ᐯIᑕTOᖇ ᑎIᘔET, finally written up. Tamm-Horsfall protein increases NETosis in UTI, plus pretty NETs pictures by Vicki Mercado-Evans, Ph.D.! From the Labs at Baylor College of Medicine biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited for this!

So grateful to be a part of this session!

After almost a decade (started while I was a postdoc with ᐯIᑕTOᖇ ᑎIᘔET and finished by Vicki Mercado-Evans, Ph.D.), I'm happy to see this finally out. We found that Tamm-Horsfall protein, the most abundant protein in urine, enhanced NETosis to protect against UTI. insight.jci.org/articles/view/…
